Livability Magazine
Role: Contributing Writer
I’ve loved contributing to Livability Magazine as a freelance writer. It combines my love of creative storytelling with opportunities to connect with cool people doing incredible things around the country, and learning about why they chose to make their cities home.
Each month, I’m assigned articles and sources to contact for each. I do my own research and conduct thorough interviews with the given contacts to craft compelling stories that capture the essence of their work in their city or region. I work with a team of editors to ensure accuracy, correct tone of voice, and that the article meets formatting needs (print vs. digital).
Some of my favorite pieces are linked below:
“Kate Robertson is an excellent writer and communicator for Livability Media. She helps us shine the spotlight on great places with well-written pieces and she does a fabulous job of matching the style and tone we use for our features. Kate is quick to let us know if there are any issues with sources or if she needs further clarification on story direction. And she is consistent at meeting deadlines or even turning in features early, which is greatly appreciated. We are so happy that Kate is on our freelance team!”
